Somewhere in haunted attics
Where the shadows meet the dust
There's something left there hiding
Past the limits left with lust
It's what we all forget to mention
Something to sweep under the rug
Although we still choose to neglect it
It's not polished, but it's love
Hardships sink with loose lips
We'll grip on what we have to hold
Love can tell you when to hold on
When holding on means letting go
When holding on means letting go
Somewhere in deserted hallways
Where empty spaces meet their ends
There's something left there standing
Past the moving lines to mend
It's what we never seem to reason
Because it's pushed off to the side
If it would melt with these new seasons
Would this bad love be confined?
Hardships sink with loose lips
We'll grip on what we have to hold
Love can tell you when to hold on
When holding on means letting go
When holding on means letting go
I never thought that you would see it, I never thought that you would know
We always knew it could get ugly, but I guess it never showed
Sometimes it lives forever, even when the last breath's gone
But bad love isn't bad dear, it only means we're hanging on
Shadows creep and crawl across the lawn
Meeting where the dusk reverts to dawn
Hardships sink with loose lips
We'll grip on what we have to hold
Love can tell you when to hold on
When holding on means letting go
When holding on means letting go
I think it's time for you to let this go
Bad love comes and isn't just for show
